    It is most likely bad/badly seated memory. Try putting in one known good meory stick and see what happens.

    Don't take the error literally... The chances of being an IRQ conflict are pretty slim. :)

    This type of blue screen is generally caused by faulty hardware. Prime suspects would include memory or hard disk, as well as CPU or motherboard. Heck... Let's throw in the whole system as a possibility! ;)

    Sometimes this error can be driver related, but more often than not, you'll find it is a memory problem.
